    ebb and flow reservoir size

    hmmm Interesting........ I think that may be a large problem of mine. I think I may be flooding too high up on my rockwool medium. Im flooding to at lest 1/4 to 1/2 way up the rockwool................... And it seems my guys are a bit over watered :-?... At least it seems that way, Check out my...

    Thanks for your advice folks! Much obliged. In terms of my nutes EXPLOIT, Im using GH Flora series. I have a 10 gallon res, but I only fill with about 7.5-8 gallons. So the recipe on the bottle says for veg to mix 3-2-1, but I lowered it a bit and went to 2-1-.5ish (times 7 gallons) so I put in...

    1st Grow, Ebb & Flow system, Hydroton

    Ok here is what i have going so far. I'm trying a bit of an experiment with the hydroton in the tray. The farthest half has very little hydroton in the tray, and the closest half of the tray is full to the flood line. I'm trying to see which way my plants respond to better. I'm thinking of...

    These pictures are of the first time I expanded from the 1ftx1ft tray. Its a homade system, and works great. I think its my nutrient solution... In any case as you will see in the next post I removed the lid eventually... It was causing more problems than solving.

    Ok ok ok, I'm back! Sorry I have been crazy busy with my schoolin n whatnot. Don't worry though the plants have been taken care of... for the most part at least. Unfortunately I think they are sick :( Or at least have some sort of deficiency. I tried doing some research but I can really...

    1st Grow, Ebb & Flow system, Hydroton

    Alright, It was another big day for me and my babies, I made a lot of changes to my system again, so hopefully all this wont hurt them. I'm too tired to get into it, but basically I added another 150W hps so now there is 300W goin. I fixed up some plumbing issues, added more hydroton to the...

    Tom's 400 watt Growing Odyssey

    What do you mean Training? Is that how he gets the branches n whatnot to spread nicely, and grow strong without colapsing on itself with string? Or am I completely misunderstanding the prharse? Sorry, I'm a rookie to these forums, but I'm just trying to learn as much as I can :). Either way, it...

    Oh I forgot, take a look at Picture number 5 in my last post... You can kinda see my overflow valved in the corner closes to the camera, and to the right of that is my input (where the pump is pugged into, to flood).

    1st Grow, Ebb & Flow system, Hydroton

    Im not sure but I may have a problem with my flooding amount... It doesnt seem like the Rockwool is getting thouroughly soaked when the water comes around... What level of moisture should I be looking for in the rockwool? My take floods to about 1/4 up the RW, but I'm not sure if thats enough, I...

    1st Grow, Ebb & Flow system, Hydroton

    Alrighty... So I woke up this morning, and there are two plants that are severely drooped :(, actually one of them is my biggest and best :(. I imagine it is the cause of root damage in transplant... A few of the plants were already rooted pretty well in the old box, prior to transplanting, so...

    :razz: Hey Simpson, Thanks for the posts! You were pretty much dead on with the DWC system... I guess. I thought I was still doing Ebb and Flow, but I know nothing. I built this entire setup today and just finished, I snapped some photos to go along. Take a look and let me know what you think...

    1st Grow, Ebb & Flow system, Hydroton

    Hmm... I see. Ok well I'm still in the process of getting my new setup going. Im putting a lid over the baskets to keep the root area dark (almost like an aero ponics setup, but with much more hydroton, some also in the tray. I understand how it can be confusing... Give me a little while until I...

    awesome thanks! I just got back from the stores, and have everything i need to fix my setup, I'm even going to have a separate reservoir to make for easier maintenance and changing. I Bought Basket Pots, to allow the roots to spread but I plan on putting them on a few inches apart, but I dont...

    Hey man, Thank you so much for your tips, I admire all of you with such knowledge. I'm heading out to my local hydro shop to pick up some fittings, then I'm going to Walmart to pick up some Tray like bins, and I'm going to bump my system up a notch... I'm worried though perhaps I will have to...

    My First Grow! DIY DWC & Grow Area, SNOW WHITE FEM FROM SEED!

    Yes sir, I'm fairly new to the community, but I learn fast, if you want, take a look at my girls, they are o only 7 days old, but for starters your Rock Wool should not be poking out like that, Bury it at least 1-2" underneath your Hydroton. and your lighting does not seem to be up to par as far...
